Well done on all of the great work you all did last week to our wonderful third class and their parents/helpers!
You did so well and made us very proud, we're sure your mums and dads are proud of you for working so hard too! Below is your new timetable and work for this week.
Make sure you scroll down to read the full instructions on what to do!

A few people mentioned they were behind in their work, this is OK! You can leave the work you haven't done and just start on this weeks work. You can always catch up later if you have a spare day or an afternoon. Do not feel stressed by this work, just do your best on any day. Some days you will be learning lots in the garden or you might be learning in the kitchen. Send pictures of this work too, we love to see you working, whatever you might be doing. 

Parents, just a reminder that Mr Boyle is raffling off free school tracksuits and other prizes, for children regularly uploading, every Friday. We had 7 children entered from our class last week because of all of the wonderful work you have been doing. Well done!

Looking forward to hearing from you all this week! We're really missing school and seeing all of you every day,

Ms Keenan and Ms Ryan

Hi everyone, We have heard that some of you are having trouble accessing Busy at Maths online. We have taken screen shots of the book online for anyone having trouble. If you click the images it makes them bigger. Hopefully this sorts the problem out for anyone experiencing it.
Keep up the great work, Ms Keenan and Ms Ryan.

Welcome back to all of the wonderful children in our class! We hope you all had a lovely Easter. We're straight back into school work this week after our little break last week. It might be a bit harder to figure things out this week as you won't have handout sheets to work from but you can do it! You can use your new copies that we delivered to your houses to do the work in. If you have any questions or are confused about anything, you can write to us on Seesaw and we will try to help you as soon as possible. Upload pictures of your work on to Seesaw just as you have been doing and we will correct it as soon as we can. There is lots of work to get going on but remember the work is for the whole week. There is a suggested timetable and checklist below which you can check on Friday to see that everything is done. Reading is very important to keep up every day- there are lots of links on the school website for you to find new books or you can keep reading books you have at home. We hope that you are all well and we're looking forward to hearing from you all.
